A Little About Me

Growing up in the heart of Alabama, I was surrounded by rich culinary traditions that sparked my love for cooking from a young age. My earliest memories are filled with the smells of my grandmother’s kitchen, where I learned that food is more than just sustenance—it’s a way to connect, celebrate, and express love. After pursuing my formal training as a chef, I spent years honing my skills in professional kitchens, working alongside some of the best in the industry. But no matter how far I traveled or how complex the dishes I prepared, I always returned to the comforting, soulful cooking that inspired me from the start.
